Spring MVC Controller 支持的返回类型

Supported method return types

The following are the supported return types:

• A ModelAndView object, with the model implicitly enriched with command objects and the results of @ModelAttribute annotated reference data accessor methods.
• A Model object, with the view name implicitly determined through a RequestToViewNameTranslator and the model implicitly enriched with command objects and the results of @ModelAttribute annotated reference data accessor methods.
• A Map object for exposing a model, with the view name implicitly determined through a RequestToViewNameTranslator and the model implicitly enriched with command objects and the results of @ModelAttribute annotated reference data accessor methods.
• A View object, with the model implicitly determined through command objects and @ModelAttribute annotated reference data accessor methods. The handler method may also programmatically enrich the model by declaring a Model argument (see above).
• A String value that is interpreted as the logical view name, with the model implicitly determined through command objects and @ModelAttribute annotated reference data accessor methods. The handler method may also programmatically enrich the model by declaring a Model argument (see above).
• void if the method handles the response itself (by writing the response content directly, declaring an argument of type ServletResponse /HttpServletResponse for that purpose) or if the view name is supposed to be implicitly determined through a RequestToViewNameTranslator (not declaring a response argument in the handler method signature).
• If the method is annotated with @ResponseBody, the return type is written to the response HTTP body. The return value will be converted to the declared method argument type using HttpMessageConverters. See the section called “Mapping the response body with the @ResponseBody annotation”.
• An HttpEntity<?> or ResponseEntity<?> object to provide access to the Servlet response HTTP headers and contents. The entity body will be converted to the response stream using HttpMessageConverters. See the section called “Using HttpEntity”.
• An HttpHeaders object to return a response with no body.
• A Callable<?> can be returned when the application wants to produce the return value asynchronously in a thread managed by Spring MVC.
• A DeferredResult<?> can be returned when the application wants to produce the return value from a thread of its own choosing.
• A ListenableFuture<?> can be returned when the application wants to produce the return value from a thread of its own choosing.
• A ResponseBodyEmitter can be returned to write multiple objects to the response asynchronously; also supported as the body within a ResponseEntity.
• An SseEmitter can be returned to write Server-Sent Events to the response asynchronously; also supported as the body within a ResponseEntity.
• A StreamingResponseBody can be returned to write to the response OutputStream asynchronously; also supported as the body within a ResponseEntity.
• Any other return type is considered to be a single model attribute to be exposed to the view, using the attribute name specified through @ModelAttribute at the method level (or the default attribute name based on the return type class name). The model is implicitly enriched with command objects and the results of@ModelAttribute annotated reference data accessor methods.
